Starting point is 00:02:00 dedicated to sharing the often overlooked hidden gyms that filled the space between the singles on our favorite records. My name is Quentin. I've got my brother Travis with me as always. And, man, we covered a lot of tunes the last few weeks, I did. Yeah, you know, I got to say, I'm kind of excited that we're beyond the recap episodes. The last three episodes,
Starting point is 00:02:30 have been music heavy, as you said, which, yeah, I mean, it was fun to do. Like, I love doing those year-end episodes where you look back and you pick your top ten. But that decade look back that we did, that was a beat down, dude. Man. We could do another 10 list, like right now. We could do a whole other episode and pick 10 other songs, 10 other artists, and they would all be worthy of being on the list. Yeah, it's one of those things where you can't, you can't loosely. leap over it, you know. Like I was thinking of that today. I was listening to the, to the
Starting point is 00:03:03 playlist, which you could find on Spotify, by the way. We put both our top 10 playlist and our top 100 non-s playlist on Spotify. I was listening back to our top 10 and I was like, man, I bet you there's something we could have picked that's better than this song or better than that song, or there's a better song by this artist that we could have picked, you know? But, you know, it's out there. It's, you know, it's like a,
Starting point is 00:03:28 it's like a baby. It's been born. There's nothing we can do about it. It's out there. It's, it's walking around. It's fucking, it's making sounds and stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:38 And there's nothing we can do about it. So you got to let it go. Now, I will say, our top 100 list, I'm pretty satisfied with. Like, I think we have a really good representation
Starting point is 00:03:48 on there of all the different, you know, genres that, that we've been into over the last decade. decade. Every time I listen to it, I'm reminded of an artist or a song that I forgot about, you know? Yeah, I mean, 100, 100 songs. It's almost seven hours long. There's a ton of stuff on there. So if you're, if you're listening to this right now, go to Spotify, search no filler
Starting point is 00:04:13 in the search bar and just look for the playlists, you know, because they're the only two playlist associated with our account. And you'll see them on there. Or you can see links on the show notes page for the show on the website, no filler podcast.com. Pull it up and just hit shuffle on that 100 on that 100 playlist and tell us what you think. You know, we're on, we're on Twitter now. I'm trying to, I'm trying to tweet here and there, seeing what that's all about.
Starting point is 00:04:43 You could follow us at at no filler podcast, I believe. So there you go. Hit us up. Tell us what you like, don't like. And yeah, that's that. All right, Q, so now we're back to somewhat of a normal format here where we've got an album and we're going to talk about some songs off that album. But it is a little bit different in the fact that this is our first episode devoted to a live album.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Yes. And we've picked a doozy here, dude. the one and only Paul McCartney No dude it's Sir Paul McCartney The one and only Sir Paul McCartney
Starting point is 00:05:27 This is MTV Unplugged Paul McCartney So if you're unfamiliar with what This show was all about Basically MTV would have an artist perform a set
Starting point is 00:05:42 And they would do it acoustically. So you'd get to hear all the singles from the radio. And a lot of times they do covers or they do a lot of times they would do non-singles and the unplugged version of the song became super popular. I mean, that was the case for the Nirvana Unplugged episode. I'm trying to remember what the song was that they did that gained a ton of popularity. I think it was like Polly. Well, they covered a David Bowie song. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, from the unplugged sessions. And yeah, dude, that, man, what a powerful performance, dude, by Cobain. Yeah, that's one of those songs like,
Starting point is 00:06:30 it's, it's, it's synonymous with Nirvana. Yeah. Well, I think, man, I got, I got to, I got to figure this out because now it's going to bug me. But I'm pretty sure it's, um, here it is, MTV Unplugged in New York. Yeah, it was that song, something in the way. I think that was the one that, like, regained popularity when it was released as MTV Unplugged. Like, that brought attention to the song, you know? So we're going to start with talking about Paul McCartney's unplugged album today, and we may or may not do some more unplugged episodes for the next few episodes that we do. but we might just switch it up.
Starting point is 00:07:14 We're kind of on the fence about that. Yeah, yeah. We wanted to dive into the new year with some electronic music. And for whatever reason, we just got really excited about talking about McCartney's unplugged. So that's what we're doing. And then we'll see what happens next week. All right, Q. So from what I've read, McCartney's unplugged episode is kind of what reinvigorated the show.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Like it kind of like brought attention back to it. Really? Show producer Alex Caletti went on to say that had McCartney not released it, as in released the album of the recording session, the concept would never have gained the cult status that it went on to enjoy. So there you go. Nice. There he is.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Mr. This is how it's done. Dude, and this is 1991. So he's like already, you know, far removed from, from his band Wings that was Post-Beatles. And he's like, what, 20 years out from Let It Be? So, yeah, dude, like you said, this is, this is a young man's game. And Paul McCartney comes in and he's like, all right, guys, here it is. And dude, like, with our intro, he, he, like, fucks up a few times trying to, trying to,
Starting point is 00:08:42 trying to remember the lyrics to, uh, we can work it out, which is hilarious to me. But I love that he's just, yeah, he can just show up and just have fun with it, you know, because he knows like, I'm a fucking big deal. He can do whatever he wants, man. That's just how it is. And you know what? He can work it out. Whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:09:00 He ends up working it out in the end. Exactly. All right. Yeah, we will always be forgiving of Paul McCartney. You know, he can fuck up a song. Let's put it this way, dude. If you're, he could. have fucked up for 30 minutes straight
Starting point is 00:09:14 and the audience wouldn't have cared. It's Paul McCartney. You're having a blast. You're looking at a living legend singing for you on stage with an acoustic guitar. I would be stoked to see McCartney fuck up a song in front of me.
Starting point is 00:09:31 That's a hot take, man. Oh my God, he's just like us. This is, yeah, this is before fucking Instagram and stuff where every celebrity had a showing you what they ate for breakfast and stuff. So, you know, so when they fuck up, it was a big fucking deal. I don't know what I'm talking about. No, you're probably, no, you're right, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I'll leave that in. All right. So I thought it'd be fun to play. So we're going to play a couple of his, um, his own songs that were, we're not doing any Beatles songs besides that little intro that we did. But he does a ton of covers and that's hyperbole. because a ton is like a lot. He did like, let's count it.
Starting point is 00:10:16 One, two, a three. Talking about four, five. He does seven covers in this, in this set. That's a, I mean, that's a ton. Yeah, every single song that he covers is a like a blues or folk standard, like bluegrass. Now look, Hugh, I don't know all that much about the history of the, the Beatles. They got their start doing shows at this club in Liverpool. I'm guessing that these are the kinds of songs that they would sing, these old, like, bluegrass covers. I know that that's kind of what
Starting point is 00:10:55 they started out doing. I bet you that's what he's doing here. Maybe if you go back far enough, the Beatles also covered a bunch of these songs that he covered. I don't think he would go that route, dude. I don't know if he would, like other than the Beatles songs that he covered. So, What's he doing, doing these old covers on MTV in the 90s? Just having fun? He's being, sir, motherfucking Paul McCartney, dude. Whatever the fuck he wants. He can work it out.
Starting point is 00:11:23 He can do whatever he wants, do you? I'm just saying. And he knows it. I personally have a hunch that if you're Paul McCartney and you're going on MTV, I would craft the set list to be reflective for the venue and the audience. But, you know what? he probably like, you know, this is an acoustic set. Let me do some old-timey fucking songs.
Starting point is 00:11:47 All right, Q, what's fucking stop yapping? And let's just start playing. We don't have to, here's the thing about Palmercarry. We don't have to give you any history about the guy. This is, you know, it's Paul McCarty. What I like about these unplugged sets, I will say this. Like, it was a way to hear your favorite songs, but like reinterpreted, you know? That's what I liked about it.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. And like, apparently this was not. not a new thing. Like, the reason that the show exists is due to, like, like, it was inspired by, you know, they reference Beach Boys. So in, some, some album that came out called Party, with an exclamation mark, came on 1965, it's sort of considered the first, quote, unquote, unplugged type album where, you know. When did that come out? 1965. What about MTV unplugged specifically?
Starting point is 00:12:43 What was the first? Let's see. The very first was somebody named Elliot, or no, squeeze, Sid Straw and Elliot Easton. Elliot Easton of the cars. He's a guitar player for the cars. Oh, cool. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yeah, 1990s when the, I think the show really kind of took off, or at least it became a televised, like, show. You had Aerosmith. Crosby Stills, Nash, Black Crows, Almond Brothers. And then 91, you've got the Cure, Paul McCartney, Sting, R.E.M, Elvis Costello. So, yeah. Dude, I had no idea that the catalog was this past.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Me neither. And I think it's because not each of, you know, not all of these were put on record, right? Right. I'm mostly familiar. Honestly, I'm mostly familiar with a lot of the grunge stuff, like Allison Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam. Like, I've seen video clips from those performances. Like, I'm familiar with that stuff.
Starting point is 00:13:44 But all this other, all these other artists, like Mariah Carey, I mean, it's interesting to see some of the artists that came on here. All right. Let's get into it here. The first song we're going to play is a cover. It is a bluegrass song called Blue Moon of Kentucky, written by a guy named Bill Monroe. And he had a band called the Bluegrass Boys.
Starting point is 00:14:07 It's a little bit on the nose, you know. So it was just right on the nose, dude. And this was actually written back in 1947. So this is one of those standard bluegrass tunes, and McCarney decided to fucking play it on MTV. So here it is. I'll get my guitar. I'll get my washboard.
Starting point is 00:14:27 I'll go get my string bass, which is really a keyboard. Hey, man, I'm going to go get my banjo. Me, but I don't go get an little accordion, man. What do you think? No. No, no, I'll go into banjo, man. Go. One, two, three.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Hey, man, I'm going to go now. I'm going to take a verse right now. Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining. We shine on the one that's going to prove the truth. All right, too. I think you got your, I think you got your files mixed up there. Yeah, my bad, dude. This was actually the Dale Gerbil Bluegrass experience and their cover of Blue
Starting point is 00:15:18 Moon. Yes. I mean, I could see why we get them mixed up with Palm McCarty. We played a clip from King of the Hill And Travis and I are, you know, some Some good old boys from Texas Born and raised. King of the Hill is one of our favorite animated series of all time.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Dude, that's one of my favorite King of the Hill episodes. So let's play the real fucking track now. Yeah, we've been, this is an episode that we're just dicking around here, Q. Yeah. But we're having a good time. So let's get into it here. So let's do it. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:46 So here is McCartney on MTV's Unplugged. All right. Singing, Blue Moon of Kentucky. Well, Blue Mooney, keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone. And left me blue. Keep on shining. Shine on the one that's gone.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And left me blue. Well, it was all. Shine on. I love his little nod to Elvis Presley's version at the end there. Yeah, that's really cool. That's fun stuff, dude. That's what you show up to McCartney on plug set to hear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:42 How's he going to spin it? You know, how is he going to put a stamp on it? And there you go. And, dude, how great is it to hear McCartney, yeah, sort of singing the style of Presley? You know, it's really cool. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Yeah, one of the podcasters in our network, his name's Eric.
Starting point is 00:19:01 He has a couple shows in the network, the almost famous minute where they go, each episode is one minute of the movie almost famous, which is crazy. And he also does feels like Weezer, which is a, I mean, it's a Weezer podcast. He reached out to us and said, yeah, back in 1991, on the night they first broadcast, Paul's unplugged, I found the simulcast on a local radio station and recorded it onto tape cassette, the entire episode. Love that tape and I think I still have it. That, to me, I mean, what a great story, dude. And that's, that's how, how, you know, beloved this session was, you know? Well, I mean, you got to think about, like, and I, you know, we were just little toddler's cue when this was happening. But how rare was a televised McCartney performance in 1991, you know? I have no idea. It could have been, I mean, shit, he could have been doing that every one. week. I doubt it. And I bet you that's why I was such a big deal because it's like, what, McCartney was on MTV, you know? Well, the fact that a local radio station where Eric lived
Starting point is 00:20:13 was broadcasting this performance live as it was happening on the radio station, or at least as it was aired on MTV on the station, like as a live performance, that shows how, how, like, special it was, you know? Right. And that's really cool, dude. So our next two songs are going to be McCartney songs. Both of them actually show up on his, I guess it's a self-titled, called McCartney. It's an album that came out in 1970. It's actually his first solo album. Really iconic album, are you?
Starting point is 00:20:50 I love the album. It's really cool. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to play one of Eric's favorites from the set, one of the songs that pops up on this album. These are songs that are obviously really important to him. The first one we're going to play is a track called Every Night. That's just delightful.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I don't know about you, but that's the first time I've heard that song. Me too. So I'm hearing it as the unplugged version for the first time. Me too, man. That was great. You know, everyone's got their favorite beetle. McCartney has always been mine. just because his songs are just so,
Starting point is 00:22:49 he's such a good, like, pop, kind of love song kind of writer. Yeah. But hey, before we jump into our next pick, let's take a quick break. Q, listen. What? Do you not see what track nine is on this unplugged
Starting point is 00:23:12 and how we got to do this song? We have to. Oh yeah, dude, that's the song that Jeff Beck covers. Right? Right. On Boulevard Blow. Dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And if you haven't heard that episode, go back a few episodes. And we talked about Jeff Black's Blow by Blow, which came out in 72. You said Jeff Black. I did say Jeff Black. Jeff Beck and his album Blow by Blow. We did not talk about She's a Woman, though. So how serendipitous you. We get to talk about the song right now.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Well, hang on now. When did She's a Woman? Like, what? The actual song? It's a Beatles song. But is it a B-side? It was, dude. Released as the B-side to I Feel Fine in 1964.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Well, let's fucking give it a listen, dude. Let's hear it, man. All right, so here's McCartney's... Here's what I are just thinking you. You and I are only version of this song that we know is the Jeff Beck instrumental where he's singing into a voice box with his guitar and saying she's a woman.
Starting point is 00:24:18 So I have no idea what the song actually sounds like. So yeah, let's listen. So let's listen to McCartney's. acoustic version of she's a woman. What a great fucking song. Man, number one, dude, I was hearing the Jeff Beck song on my head, and yeah, it's a pretty, like, it's a pretty true cover.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I mean, really. I thought maybe he was just like, you know, nodding to it in the chorus, but no, it's pretty, pretty spot on. Dude, let's fade out with Jeff Beck's version. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, I mean, that's one of the reasons that people said back in the day, you know, that Jeff Beck was, so like lyrical and expressive with its guitar like yeah when you hear it at the end we'll play it
Starting point is 00:26:35 at the end just think about this song and we just played and i think you'll aside from him saying she's a woman doing the chorus like it's pretty spot on man you know now so this was a b side to i feel fine it came out in 64 what i loved about it dude it's a it's a it's a bluegrassy bluesy song you know like, I feel like McCartney more than any of the other Beatles, well, both McCartney and Lennon, dude, they, they were very heavily influenced by just standard folk blues, you know? Yeah, I know, absolutely. Some of my favorite Beatles songs are just straight up blues songs, dude. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I mean, we've talked about this. I mean, this is nothing new to anybody. But obviously, blues is responsible for rock, right? Yeah. That's where it all started. Yeah. So, all right, we just kind of squeeze that song in there at the last moment. Let's take a listen to a song called That Would Be Something, which our buddy Eric says is probably his favorite from the set.
Starting point is 00:27:41 This is another song that came out on McCartney's debut solo record, titled McCartney, came out in 1970. Let's take a listen to it, dude. So this is going to be our last song for tonight. this is McCartney playing an acoustic version of his song that would be something on MTV's unplugged. I got to listen to more McCartney. This is what I've learned. If that's one thing that comes out of this,
Starting point is 00:30:00 I'd say that's a pretty successful episode, dude. And this is such a blues? Like, that's what it is, man. That's why he decided to throw in all these standard folk blues songs because even the songs that he's playing that are his own songs are of the, or more on the heavy, you know, blue side. He's, he's meticulous about his scentless, dude.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I mean, that's what I was saying. It's like, he's on MTV, which, you know, in, in 1991,
Starting point is 00:30:31 it was mostly, you know, hooligans and whatnot, right? They watched MTV. Hooligans and, uh, spring breakers.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Exactly. Dude, I mean, this is what I love about, just thinking about like this moment in music history, if you will, right? This happens in January of 91 on MTV. Nine months later, nevermind comes out, and then grunge dominates MTV. You know what I mean? Like, I love to think that, like, Rock's next biggest thing hadn't even hit yet, really. And here's McCartney of, you know, the biggest rock band of all time on MTV doing an acoustic set list where he's covering old bluegrass songs and whatnot. Covering Blue Moon of Kentucky that came on 47.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Right. On MTV, arguably the first time and, you know, perhaps the last time that that song was ever played on MTV. You're probably right, dude. Right. And then nine months later, here comes Grounds, you know, or at least, Grunge biggest album up to that point, right? Yeah. The album that put Grunge on the map and dominated MTV that, you know, that sound.
Starting point is 00:31:49 I just, I love thinking about that kind of stuff, like, the context of when this happened, you know, and where it happened, like, what venue did it happen at and like what, the venue being MTV, I guess. But yeah, I just, I love that kind of stuff. And you know what? Up till a couple weeks ago, I didn't even realize that McCarney didn't unplug set. It shows you how much I fucking know. Right. same man. Like I said, I had no idea that the MTV Unplugged catalog was so vast. But that's one of the
Starting point is 00:32:16 reasons we do this podcast, Q is that we, you know, it's a constant, you got to be, you got to be digging every, every day. Yeah, dude, we're students of music history, man. Yeah. This is our classroom. Yeah. I mean, sometimes we proudly wear our fucking duns hats, you know? Yeah. Almost every episode, I think we demonstrate our fucking ignorance. But, hey man, we're, Just a couple, we're just a couple of bros that are fans of music. Well, bros, let's just call, you know, brothers. We're actually brothers. In case you don't know that.
Starting point is 00:32:49 The word bros, dude, the word bros. I know. No, you're right, because, yeah, there's a lot of people that might be listening for the first time tonight. We're twin pros. We're actually, we're twin brothers. We are twin brothers. And, yeah. We're not even in the same room or the same state.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Correct, Amanda. But yeah, so, you know. It's just a little Skype session. you know, that you guys are listening in on. All right, so that'll do it for our look and our listen. I say look because we were actually watching the YouTube videos. Maybe we'll put those on on the show notes page on our website. But, yeah, that was a quick look at McCartney's unplugged set.
Starting point is 00:33:29 From what I heard, man, that must have been, no wonder it was bootlegged to the point of needing to be released as an official bootleg. you know they're like yeah and you got you got people like our like our buddy eric you know scrambling to record it uh on a on a radio show that he heard so that he could have a copy of it uh that's how how much of a big deal this was so yeah i want to listen to more man i want to hear more and i want to go back and listen to some of mccartney's stuff man his his solo stuff absolutely um anyway uh yeah so that's that um and now cue we're gonna do our what you you heard segment for the first time in three weeks.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Actually four weeks by the time that's hits, technically, right? I guess so, yeah. So yeah, I'm excited here. And I'm trying to, you know, that's a lot of, that's a lot of the time to go back on here. The last three weeks, what are the new albums and songs that I've been listening to?
Starting point is 00:34:28 It's hard to narrow it down to just want you. But I'm going to try my darness. All right, yeah, so this is, Oh, God damn it, dude. Guess where I heard it. Just guess. There's no point in even in saying it, dude.
Starting point is 00:34:44 We just, it's assumed that all, that you only get your music from one source, man. You got to expand your sources a little bit. That's not true. I think so. You know what? This is usually on in the background, but I'm driving around town.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I heard this on K-E-X-P the other day. Mm-hmm. Go on. This is an artist called Will Roy, all one word, don't know anything about this artist. This shows up on a compilation record from a record label called Future Bubblers. This is just some straight up dance tunes, man. This is a song by, again, an artist named Willroy.
Starting point is 00:35:25 This is a compilation record called Future Bubblers 3.0. It came out this past year in 2019. this is a song called 4F3 D63 Hex Yeah I really liked that The instrumental part in the beginning Before he started singing Not that I didn't like the singing But I really liked that
Starting point is 00:39:33 There was some sort of like a stringed instrument In there It kind of reminded me of like a Koto Or like one of those Japanese guitars Right Yeah I love that kind of stuff and this is one of those examples of a really great
Starting point is 00:39:49 layered, you know, slowly building on itself kind of dance and electronic music. This is a great example of that, you know, like, you press play, it's kind of quiet, there's maybe not even so much as just a bass drum kick,
Starting point is 00:40:07 you know, and then it just builds on itself. Yeah. No, that's, I mean, we've talked about that before. That's, that's, that's, that's why we love electronic music so much, especially the type of electronic music like down tempo and whatnot that's all about the layering, you know, and adding some, you know, take us over bringing it back, adding on top of it. Yeah. And dude, this is great because my what you heard is also an electronic song. Imagine that. I think this is a sign, dude, that it's time to do
Starting point is 00:40:42 some electronic episodes. Let's just, let's do it. Maybe we'll do a side, let's do a side track that's related to McCartney, because that could be fun for next week. Okay. And then we'll get back into it. We'll do some, we'll do a,
Starting point is 00:40:53 we'll do a few electronic episodes, maybe a month of electronic episodes. Because as we have discussed amongst ourselves, cue, when the mics were not hot, we've got a ton of electronic albums that we fucking love, dude. That we could, I mean, we could, we could do a whole year on our, episodes, seriously.
Starting point is 00:41:13 You know what's nice about this, dude? What's nice about it, Q? This McCartney episode is going to be launching on the 20th. His side check will be on the 27th, so we can start February with some electronic tunes. So we can do a... You just made my day, dude. Made my whole day. So we'll do electronic February.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Okay, awesome. I'm pumped. All right. Okay, Q. So this guy, I've actually been listening to for a while. His name is Christian Klein. And I really, really enjoy this one album in particular. Came out back in 2004.
Starting point is 00:41:54 No, I'm sorry, 2001. So almost 20 years ago, if you can get your mind around that shit, that 2001, or let's just say 2000 was 20 years ago. Let me tell you something that makes me upset. What? Okay. As a bartender. now I got to be looking at
Starting point is 00:42:13 1999 and you can drink some fucking beer God, man just wait, man, in a couple years if you're still doing it. You're going to be staring at somebody who was born in 2000 who's drinking a beer in front of your ass. Dude, let me just grab my waist basket wheel quick.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Dude, I feel like an old man. How do you spell this guy's name, dude? Christian, as in, that's a good Christian fellow right there. Jesus Christ. Right. Klein, K-L-E-I-N-E.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Oh, E. I should have known. Yeah, you should have known. So he had an album that came out in 2001 called Beyond Repair, which I've been listening to for years now. The whole album's really good. Anyway, the guy's still putting out on music 20 years later, just about.
Starting point is 00:43:02 He just came out with another, well, it was about a month ago. He came out with another record, Strange Holiday Part 1 and Part 2. I haven't listened to those yet, but I will. I didn't realize he had these out. But he came out with a record in 2016 called Coriel, or Coriel, I don't know if I can know.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I don't know how to pronounce it, but it's fine. So, we're going to listen to the very first track. It's called Street Tape. Wait a second, Travis. I got excited because... Sorry. I know. Sorry, I did.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Quentin. I know. Yeah. You brought up, you brought up Beyond Repair an album that came out in 2001. Yes. I'm looking at the track list. Track three.
Starting point is 00:43:49 It's Quentin. And it's spelled the way I spell it. And you're not going to drop that on me tonight? No, I'm not. Sorry. I'll listen to it on my own. Well, I wasn't even, dude, I got so excited about that. I don't even know.

Starting point is 00:44:10 God, dude. All right. Street tape, let's do it. Track one, street tape. Here we go. I love it, man. I love it. Yeah, it's great.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I can listen to this kind of music all day long. I'm curious to know how many people just fucking go to sleep when they listen to stuff, man. I mean, here's the thing. there is a lot of electronic music out there that is ambient to the point of being like, yeah, you could fall asleep to it. But what I like about Christian Klein's type of down tempo, and I wouldn't really call that down tempo per se, but I mean, that song in particular was more kind of... I mean, save this chit chat, save this chit chat for our electronic.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah, but, but I mean, just to expand on what you were saying, like, yeah, I would put this in the ambient electronic down tempo IDM camp. But like, yeah, I'm not falling to sleep, dude. I'm fucking wide awake, bro. After hearing that. Because, I mean, there's so many things going on. There's so many things to listen to. Like we were saying, it's all about the layers and stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:12 You know? Yeah. Anyway. You just got to pay attention. Don't fall asleep. Right, right. It's just great. Prick up your ears.
Starting point is 00:48:20 We started, we started brainstorming album ideas for a, electronic episodes a couple weeks back and we've got some some great stuff lined up here. Some stuff that I'm excited to know, Q, that you're not very familiar with, which means I get to introduce you to something, which is great. I love doing that. But yeah, we'll do a handful of electronic episodes in the coming weeks. So if you don't like electronic music, hopefully we'll, we can nerd out enough to bring you on board with us, you know, and, and, and, and, and, and, explain in at least to us why electronic music is so enjoyable to listen to. Anyway, Q. Yeah, no, I'm excited to get into some electronic music again. It's been a minute since we did a
